Good value for downtown. Great location for downtown Wilmington. Could have used Kleenex in room. Only got one robe for 2 people. Needed valet for parking, but valet service was very good. Attentive staff.

The property is very well designed and cute and as per pictures. I did not get any offer to help with luggage to the third floor since no elevator. I did see some dust on baseboards and door and was messaged that there will be a turn over and there was not but other than that property was clean and well maintained. We had breakfast at their restaurant but when wanting to eat outside they mentioned that I would have to prepay there is no service out there so if I want anything I need to come in. My bread had mold on it and restaurant was empty so that was a turn off as not sure how fresh stuff is. Maybe I just came at a weird time where it was not busy although could not do early check in. All correspondence is thru robot text which I guess is good…the price was good for the style of hotel.

Cute spot in historic Wilmington

The staff were all upbeat and accommodating . Check in went smoothly and everything was clean with cute decor. My one bit of feedback is that the bed (though comfortable) was likely put together wrong and squeaked and creaked at the slightest movement. There was no fitted sheet on the bed which I also found odd, instead there were two flat sheets. The bed itself, though in a suite was a full/queen size. Small adjustments could be made overall, but that is to be expected. I will return again, but would definetly request a different style of room.

Very unique hotel in a great location

Very unique hotel with a cool downtown vibe. Lovely room. Only hiccup was I discovered the conditioner and body wash were empty when I was already in the shower. Housekeeping didn’t refill toiletries during our 3 day stay. Sunday night live music in the courtyard. Used street parking (watch the signs) because $26 valet is the only parking option. Easy to walk to bars and restaurants. Would stay again!

Darling boutique hotel. Loved the room and outdoor space. Cute little outdoor bar. Unexpected live music in the evening. Sad that the restaurant was closed Monday nights when we were there. We did have an issue with our AC unit which was frustrating and made for a restless nights sleep:( Over all it was clean but I do not believe our bathroom floor was swept and mopped because there was a lot of black long hairs and neither of us have long black hair:/

Lovely, quaint, historic charming place

Lovely, comfortable, full service hotel that felt more like your own bedroom in historic setting. Location is perfect and the grounds pristine. Staff very friendly and accommodating. The only draw back was paid parking.

We did not stay. We checked in. The room was on street and the door was off the hinge. We moved to another room and the Queen bed advertised was a double. We checked out within 15 minutes of being there and found other accommodations
